Critical made a great topic for this, take a look.

C0IN wrote I'm in my college currently going for a computer science degree to become a software engineer. Aside from class I want to be able to teach myself more in the field because you tend to learn more from yourself, and they don't teach the too much in college.

Does anybody have any recommendations for a good website/YouTube channel/book source to follow with and learn successfully? I have done some research but was looking for some solid recommendations. +rep for any good recommendations and as always thank you.

I'm currently studying Computer Science and we've done a decent bit of software development. We started off learning how to program with Java, solving problems from [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] . If you already know the basics, I'd suggest starting there and solving some problems.

We've now progressed onto learning C/C++ because it teaches you all about memory. I can give you some material if you'd like to work on that.

I'd also highly recommend learning about algorithms and how to create them, as they will greatly help you break down problems and make it easier to put into code. Here is a link to the module on [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] .

If you don't have much experience, I'd suggest looking at the post Craig has referenced above to begin.

As I said, I can also provide material if you want a challenge

Thank you, and yes I know a good amount of the basics, I'm only in my first year of schooling so I'm just trying to get ahead of the game and have better understanding. I'll definitely be in touch for a challenge in the near future.

Not really sure if this would be helpful or not but i'm trying lmao. Last year i took a computer programming class (Pretty much a blowoff class but it was interesting) Anyway all we did was sit on codeacademy and learn languages that way. I'm not sure if that is relevant but hey worth a shot right? And there's always youtube.

yes thank you, and anything helps all I was looking for is some good sources to learn and hear from people who have had success with them and you did just that

codeacademy is probs the best way to teach yourself youtube is also great

Obviously not the best but can help in certain situations. YouTube I have used to just to watch and get more used to it

Code Academy is great! I've learned to make basic apps on my PC from there, as well as YouTube, a lot of people under estimate YouTube. You can learn a great deal from there.
